This was an interesting mix of being a woman in the 1900s and futuristic magic. I felt like it was a slow start because it took a while to get to the magic! But once they find the diary and get some magic, it gets good. There’s a lot of themes of women finding freedom within their minds when society beats them down and hollows them out. I enjoyed it but not enough to continue it as a series.Â
